BYOK (bring your own keys)
AtroUI Host APIs never ship OpenAI, Resend, or Hugging Face keys. Paid paths return 503 until the consumer sets env. Preview and rule-based scope still work.
Definition
BYOK means supported provider keys in the consumer environment: SMTP/Resend for mail; HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, XAI_API_KEY for AI tools. Unsupported keys (OpenAI, Anthropic today) are ignored.
Why it matters
“Free AI on a docs site” is usually someone else’s bill. AtroUI refuses that model. Demos 503. Consumers pay their own vendors.
